August 12, 201311 yr For me, it went "Ooh, that Highway Enforcer looks nice, I'll vote for that" to "Omg, how can that be in the lead? I guess I won't be buying the set" (sorry rm8, I don't really know why I thought that, I do like the original design when I look at it now) to "Whoah, I've GOT to get that!" (when the retail version was shown) to "Come ON, S@H! It's been August 1 for several minutes now, give me the possibility to buy that 41999 already!" In the beginning I wasn't to happy with the 9398 model. Performance wise is didn't (and still doesn't) live up to my expectations. That was one of the reasons I wasn't going to pay 180 euros for an updated model.....or was I Off topic : I really do like the Highway Enforcer as well. Maybe I will build it on top of my old chassis. Edited August 12, 201311 yr by Gekke Ted
August 12, 201311 yr When I first saw rm8's design, I didnt think much of it because i never liked the 9398. Then as the summer progressed, it started to grow on me, and by August 1 I was desperatley trying to get one. I finally ordered mine on August 3

August 12, 201311 yr So late in this thread that´s it´s alomost embarrasing ! But here goes anyway ...... First, again a really big congrats on winning and making this into a real set! And also to it being such a big seller ! Quality gets noticed around the Afol world! I´ve tried to read all the reviews but I´m still a bit unsure which parts are special to this set in design & color, anyone that have a list ready to share ?

Oh yeah, and the wheels.
August 12, 201311 yr The Dark Blue is amazingly beautiful. I know it it supposed to be limited to this set, bu I really hope TLG lied to us and they will use it in future sets as well. Together with the silver parts....just....WOW!! Edited August 12, 201311 yr by Gekke Ted
August 12, 201311 yr Hmm there isn't a very good veriety of dark blue lift arms, only like 3 types :/
August 12, 201311 yr Lets hope that tlg will make more. Im loving that color. We got a new record! €2800,-! http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?sID=212506&itemID=46973062
August 12, 201311 yr Lets hope that tlg will make more. Im loving that color. We got a new record! €2800,-! http://www.bricklink...itemID=46973062 You get 4 sets for that price... but still its disgusting frankly...
August 12, 201311 yr The reason for this enzry is to put the average price high. New offers often orientate on the current average (but should look at the average sale) and thats how you make the prices in BL go bigger.

New offers often orientate on the current average (but should look at the average sale) and thats how you make the prices in BL go bigger. I hate when people get greedy like that. I read some posts about 41999 on a reseller/investor forum today out of curiosity, and was frankly disgusted about the opinions and (bad) justifications expressed there. Greedy egoists, all of them. Haven't seen any of those tendencies here, thankfully. Ok buying one extra set for flipping, but cheating the system and buying all of the stock from one store (using extra people) just for selling and then also cheating BL to earn even more money just makes me sick...
August 14, 201311 yr Hey, i just finished building my Crawler. Is this normal that servo motor is "hissing" / "beeping" while turning? Edited August 14, 201311 yr by Dorino
August 14, 201311 yr 1 More question. I am left with 9L Red Beam, is this normal :P? Edit : Changed 8 to 9, Edited August 14, 201311 yr by Dorino
August 14, 201311 yr 1 More question. I am left with 8L Red Beam, is this normal :P? Do you have a link to the Bricklink part in the reference catalog? Edited August 14, 201311 yr by Gekke Ted
August 14, 201311 yr Do you have a link to the Bricklink part in the reference catalog? Ah sorry, of course i meant 9 L http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=40490
August 14, 201311 yr Ah sorry, of course i meant 9 L http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=40490 That's why I asked. Thought you meant the a 9L liftarm. Unfortunately I can't give you an answer
August 14, 201311 yr Not that i know....i wasn't left with one, myself. 1 More question. I am left with 9L Red Beam, is this normal :P? Edit : Changed 8 to 9,
August 14, 201311 yr Author I know it is against CUUSOO rules and LEGO Technic challenge 2012, but this is the only way to make fans satisfied. LEGO should produce another amount of this set. Yes, it can be less exlusive with standart box and another rims, colors and decoration. We should vote "what consumer need: exclusive box with exclusive colors or the model itself no matter what is the color!?" May be someone cant agree with me: exclusive set have to be exclusive! But it was sold out too fast and prices at the second market are crazy. Technic team - you designed too nice set, so the demand is much higher than supply, and there is no way to fight with resellers. I have 2 sets - thats enough for me. But here in Russia we even dont have possibility to buy it - no Brand stores and no S@H service. I am sure that number of sets that will come to Russia from resellers and foreign friends will be less than fingers on my hands. It is sad that I can't buy more than 2 sets for my voters (Thanks to BL shop - Brick Takeover and its founder Stefan, he did not borrowed any crazy fee from me) I dont need glory - trip to Billund was the best and practical present for me and my family. May be this thread is my mistake. Voting shows it. Hope TLG will listen its customers. Model is READY for production. There is no need to test it and improve. May be TLG can make B model for standard non-exclusive set. This will be additional points for customers. Do we need voting thread? Edited August 14, 201311 yr by rm8
